With the original goal of the charity GoFundMe fundraiser organized by the popular YouTuber for CRY being $150,000, this original goal has already been well exceeded and with no end date set for the charity GoFundMe fundraiser there is no limit to how much that the PewDiePie effort can raise for the worthwhile cause that is at the center of Cry.
The Indian NGO was founded in 1979 by Rippan Kapur and has helped to bring sustainable change to over 2,000,000 children in India since it was first established. With the support of the PewDiePie charity GoFundMe fundraiser, CRY will have the opportunity to help even more children now and in the future.
